Status or Description
Parameter
Flow Control • Disabled (default): The port does not generate flow control packets, and drops any flow control packets
it receives.
• Enabled: The port uses 802.3x Link Layer Flow Control, generates flow control packets, and processes
received flow control packets.
With the port mode set to Auto (the default) and Flow Control enabled, the switch negotiates Flow Control
on the indicated port. If the port mode is not set to Auto, or if Flow Control is disabled on the port, then Flow
